"I've had him checked. It's false. I've sent them away, too," Sebastian said quietly.
Simon stared at him speechless. The boy was trying to scare him on purpose! He grinned as he put his arm around Sebastian's shoulder. "In fact, I've thought if I do have an illegitimate daughter, I'll marry her to you..."
Sebastian darkened and acted as if he didn't hear anything. His adoptive father had been used to joking and always said something that made others speechless.
Heather looked at Sebastian as he left. After he was gone, she turned around and saw Alexander standing at the door of the room, his eyes very deep.
Her heart sank.
She hurried to come to Alexander, took his arm in a natural way, and explained, "Alex, Sebastian is my cousin. We've been growing up together. Don't think too much..."
He reached out to caress her hair. "Mmm. I believe you."
She was relieved. She lifted her head and looked at his face with infatuation.
